Did you know 1 out of every 5 young adults still doesn’t have health insurance? That statistic seems alarming, especially considering the help and tax credits currently available to most Americans.

If you’re like us – and Get Covered America – and you want to see more young adults enrolled in health coverage, now is the time to take action. National Youth Enrollment Day is this Saturday, December 10, which means there’s no better time for millennials – and all Americans – to get enrolled in the right health plan.

Not sure which plan to choose? Not to worry: there’s personalized help available. Licensed agents can guide you through the enrollment process and help you find the right plan. Think health coverage is too expensive? The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced more than 2.5 million covered Americans are missing out on lower costs, and most individuals could find coverage for $75 a month or less once they take advantage of tax credits.

We understand the uncertainty surrounding the future of Obamacare. However, we’re here to remind you that major policy change takes time, meaning it’s still important to plan for your 2017 health coverage. If you don’t enroll in a plan by December 15,  you will not have active coverage once the New Year begins. And you most definitely do not want to miss the final Open Enrollment deadline on January 31, 2017; if you do, you may have to wait until the next Open Enrollment Period starts to enroll in a health plan.
